Is emulation + Crt the best way to experience ps2 games? Does it introduce too much lag?
>>12533448As long as you get rid of Hindows then yeah emulation is great on a CRT
>>12533448NoSell the garbage GBS-C and purchase the console that you like.
>>12533448It's the best way and nobody who's ever done it has ever gone back. Input lag is a meme like rotoscopic velocodensity.
At that point just buy a ps2 bro
>>12535870Nah. I have done both and prefer my OG hardware.
>>12533448If you are using one of those generic converters then it will have terrible lag since it will be doing frame buffering.
What about running ps2/xbox games from an ssd? Or a summercart?
>>12533452the hell is hindows?
>>12535870i tried this way and it just felt laggy compared to playing on my actual ps2. maybe its better now that was a few years ago.
Whatever works for you, OP.I'm too autistic about PS2-specific effects to do something like that. I enjoy that sharp and jittery PS2 video signal.

>>12535870I have an extremely powerful PC but I rather be on the couch with real hardware on my ps2, I just sat on the floor last night drinking MTN dew playing sly 1 for a couple of hours. Something about real hardware just hits different maybe it is the lack of options and choice.The real issue is that my ps2 cmos is dead and my laser is starting to struggle.Least on PC those aren't issues
>>12536171I am sitting on my couch and playing on my PC what the fuck are you nigger retards doing. Its 2026
>>12536157never heard of it. Surely you aren't implying he should use linux lmao
>>12536179why does it upset you that emulation is worse?
>>12536179sorry you don't understand comfy
>>12536179PC dweebs cumbersomely trying to mimic our power
Steam deck is amazing on my 13" crt
>>12536246that must look like shit
>>12536193Except it's superior.
>>12533448There's like 0 point of using CRT for PS2. It makes sense in Sonic and Castlevania where the visual was clearly made for scanlines in mind but not in PS2. A lot of games have builtin widescreen mode.
>>12536414Ps2 output is already so muddy that blurring your vision even more is probably just going to annoy you
>>12536414>but not in PS2Most 6th gen games used a low colour depth to conserve VRAM. Yeah, I don't want to look at dithering, thanks.
>>12535912no you haven't.
>>12536223what power?
>>12536138>>12536193Emulation: No load timesupscale to max out the resolution of your CRTwidescreen if you have a widescreen crt60 fps progressive scan every gamebetter controllerrun ahead if on good pcno ditheringI have a hacked ps2 and haven't touched it because it's pointless now"muh input lag" is the ultimate cope from ludittes grasping at straws>>12536171you can still sit on your fucking couch while emulating.
